[SOLVED] Change desktop icon position and size from terminal

[kozi]

Hi,
I have multiple stations and I want change and unify look. I found tool: gio/gvfs and when try set attributes (metadata::nemo-icon-position, metadata::nemo-icon-scale) they change but there is no effect even after cinnamon restart. Do I do something wrong or there is some additional step (nemo notification)?

Obvious question but have you disabled auto-arrange by name on the desktop?

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I have disabled auto-arrange option.
Turns out that

Code: Select all

gvfs-set "file path" metadata::nemo-icon-position x,y
gio set "file path" metadata::nemo-icon-position x,y 
gvfs-set "file path"metadata::icon-scale value

and nemo/nemo-desktop restart works fine.
Last thing to do for me is to find why on LM19 with nemo-desktop

Code: Select all

gio set "file path" metadata::nemo-icon-scale

doesn't work.
But for now I can live with 90% solution.
